To be dressed all black in winter is daring. In summer it’s easy – black something on tanned skin, throw in a little bit of gold jewellery and immediately you get that certain kind of sicilian sexiness from a Dolce+Gabbana ad. But chosing the one color that actually absorbs the little light there is in … Continue Reading
Again we have a man wearing a backpack on this blog. Gunnar was first, now Joel. Munich and London. I guess we can start calling it a ‘European trend in menswear’! It takes more than two to ascertain a trend? Don’t be so fussy. If those two have an ocean between them, they have never … Continue Reading
First of all: Happy, marvellous New Year 2014! Any New Year’s resolutions? Except of the usual ones like ‘no more crisps in front of the TV’ or ‘less TV, more books (it’s harder to eat when you read anyway)’? I have a recommendation for you. It’s my one resolution I have worked on through the … Continue Reading
My last Christmas post (I made an exception and asked Susanne to dress up a bit ‘christmassy’ for me as I wanted her to be my ‘Happy Holidays’ post). No matter if you love or hate Christmas, if you think it’s a big overcommercialized rigmarole or not, enjoy it anyways. Strip off all the tinsel … Continue Reading
OK, we covered the ‘fun Christmas party with friends’-outfit, a little ritz, a little glitz, a pretty christmas jumper and you’re all set. But what if it’s a more ‘formal’ event? An office Christmas party? You don’t want to egg-nogg yourself out while wearing your shortest sequinned micro mini or your christmas tinsel dress – … Continue Reading
I promised I would do the ‘dressing up for christmas’ tutorial all month long – so here we go. Before we start going into details we have to put one thing straight: Is it really necessary to dress up for a christmas party? Can’t we just come as we are, drink a few mugs of … Continue Reading
It’s holiday season. So I thought to myself ‘why not dedicate the entire month of December to festivity?’ I think that’s a brilliant idea as I know for a fact that some of us struggle with this season (even some of my models – believe it or not). So let’s start with the basics: Holiday … Continue Reading
Quite honestly – I didn’t think this picture would happen. The previous evening had been long, boozy and very pleasant (we hadn’t seen each other in a while), but Feli and Joel had promised me anyway to get the chance to take a family portrait the next morning before the boys would be off to … Continue Reading
When you think about ‘matching outfits’ the first thing that pops up in your mind is probably an image of a couple in front of their mobile home wearing matching track suits. But that’s not what I am talking about. What I want to discuss today is whether it’s OK to coordinate your outfits or … Continue Reading
Let’s talk about tabacco. I’m not talking about whether to light up or not, I am talking about the most masculine of all colours. The most earthy smelling colour, the most archaic one. Tabacco is the colour of distinguished ‘savoir vivre’. It demands a fire-place, the smell of leather and wood (maybe a pipe – … Continue Reading
I once had a fashion epiphany. It happened a few years back when I was still living in London.I sat in a cafe on South Molton Street when Isabella Blow walked past me and changed my view on fashion for good. In bright daylight she floated along like a creature from a another world wearing … Continue Reading
Take a close look. This is Dodo still living in Paris, looking very Isabelle Huppert/ Charlotte Rampling. Effortless chic, a certain austere nonchalance. That’s Dodo’s style. Or is it typical Parisian style? Or both? I’ve met Dodo when she already lived in Paris, so I don’t know if Paris made her that way or if … Continue Reading
